Recorded at a time when trumpeter Kenny Wheeler was playing regularly in bassist Dave Holland's band, this quintet outing with Holland, Stan Sulzman (who switches between soprano, tenor and flute), pianist John Taylor and drummer Billy Elgart features six of Wheeler's originals, some of which were written quite a few years before. &Everybody's Song But My Own& and &Flutter By, Butterfly& are probably the most memorable of the compositions but each of the performances (which feature consistently rewarding solos) are worth hearing.
